***POSSIBLE SPOILERS THROUGHOUT*** This film begins interestingly, following the story of a new inmate at a harsh boys institute and how difficult he finds it to settle in. Soon the inmates go on a excursion to an abandoned island to do some training. They soon realise that they're not alone and there's actually a group of females on the island who are also on an excursion. Anger grows between the opposing excursion leaders and they agree to keep their groups at distance.
Testosterone fuelled male inmates can't help but make advances to the opposing female camp. When advances are rejected a dead body is found not long after. The girls obviously think it was the males yet they soon realise, when a male inmate gets killed, that there's some other threat on the island.
This film shamelessly takes ideas from "the lord of the flies" and poses the question of "what are people capable of when there's no law to abide by?" A certain sci-fi quality is added to the film when a pack of dogs are introduced and begin killing at their master's command.
The film is well acted out by young and talented British actors and delivers some brutal and jumpy sequences. Worth a look but not overly impressive.
